Enormous sensitivity in superb collaboration.

So very well thought and interpretated, beautiful.

Beautiful work David, Debra and Peter...the message beams out.

such exquisite playing and wonderful poem, awesome collaboration 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Achingly beautiful music, allowing Peter's wonderful words their true life and substance.  Pure loveliness.

So honored to be in collaboration with 1234567890 (Peter) and Debra Buesking on this track that first started out as an instrumental lament in a Celtic style.   It is no overstatement to say that Peter is one of the finest lyricists/poets on the Cloud.  More of his music and poetry can be heard at soundcloud.com/user-264930040.  More of Debra's brilliant creativity and playing can be heard @debra_buesking.

"And so to this…a song of sorrows.
Impassive moods shimmer grey from misted hollow yesterdays,
Stolen for the bleak tomorrows strewn upon our stony ways.
In enfolded dusks we watch in thrall as snows upon the migrant fall.
A massing stream of human husks, a currency, tragic traffic monetized,
Laundered of their simplest dreams. Kindled fading hopes bestride
Whose futures market crashed it seems, for his sickly child beside.

But thence the Noel star aglow; sapphire blue flashing light of hope,
Above the seething forlorn lines is surely set to rise.
As if upon the migrant three we know, kings mimicking the trope.
Man meets man’s humanity in heartfelt care, lives to de-commoditise.

And when trafficker before the final audit bashful, fain appears,
Rancid cash in offshore banks o’erflowing billowed surplus well.
From credit to the debit side we glance, and see a soul in deep arrears;
The ledger to be set aside, replaced with first class trafficked seat to hell.

When the Virgin Mother’s tears ease at last of speared pain,
When satan’s armies’ magazines vast of vice are finally spent,
When welcome arms cross razor wires, compassions fall as softest rain.
Christian helping hands of hope aspired shall end this fair lament.
…and so to this…a song of hope.

And So to This  (1234567890; Poem and Narrator, Debra Buesking, Piano & Synth; David Dunham, Guitar)

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
